===Lactate dehydrogenase===
===Lactate dehydrogenase===
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has a wide distribution in reptile tissues and elevations suggest tissue damage. In some species elevations over 1000 iu/l are considered significant. An increased value for LDH indicates tissue damage.
[[Lactate dehydrogenase|Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)]] has a wide distribution in reptile tissues and elevations suggest tissue damage. In some species elevations over 1000 iu/l are considered significant. An increased value for [[Lactate dehydrogenase|LDH]] indicates tissue damage.

*'''[[Alanine aminotransferase|Alanine aminotransferase]]''' - Elevated blood values of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), formerly glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, GPT or SGPT, are not specific for one tissue and are not a reliable indicator of liver or muscle damage. ALT is not usually part of routine biochemistry.
